Has anyone used someone on st croix to repair/replace strapping on outdoor chairs? Its the 1 inch or so straps. We actually have the rolls of strapping but we need someone who can put on new straps. The man we used to use has been dead for a while and his Gallows Bay business closed. Have lots that need to be repaired.

Plus one you register your guns, the police tell their friends where you live and someone comes and breaks into your house and steals only the guns. It has happened to two friends of mine.
this has been an issue/occurrence for at least 30 years on stx. Decision used to be try to register and be a victim yourself or don't register and deal with that after using the gun if necess

just called at 800-331-0500 and he has no idea what is really wrong or when it will be fixed--says we should just call back after it starts working for a credit---I would much rather have phone service working....he didn't want to take/issue a service ticket or anything.

they say over 103 million owed in real property taxes.
And the taxes themselves are really low compared to what the tax for the same value of property would be in many areas of the US. Never mind the underassessment of so many parcels, with a relatively small number of over-assessed properties for which the owners can always file appeals (but you have to pay the tax to appeal).
Lots of ye

Is it (Palms) any good these days? We stopped going there a few years ago after several lousy dinners, and haven't been back since. No idea who was running kitchen, or who might be now. Location is great if food is good again.

anyone have any suggestions for a good place for brunch, a buffet or dinner on Easter Sunday? We used to go to Carambola for their buffet, but they have gotten really expensive, so I'm thinking we would like someplace else...for family including young children...suggestions?

The crazy part of the AARP medicare supplement plan (type F) is that the premium in stx is so much LESS than what I pay for the same coverage with a stateside address, which I need to use instead of VI. The coverage is not different, but my monthly premium is more than $100 higher.
And yet the prescription plan in stx is a bit different, and has a deductible that I do not have, but the premiu

Has anyone successfully applied for the homestead tax exemption with their new program?
The website says just submit the form, but the woman I dealt with on stx said we also had to submit a utility (preferably wapa) bill, and a copy of our income tax return. So could not apply then as I had planned, since I had no idea about these items...and after having had the exemption for 15 years or so..

There is only one bedroom on the main level of the castle. and as shown in rotor's photo, the interior used tt be furnished (or over-furnished) with lots of items...all of that has been removed. One of the first things I noticed my first time there was the ceramic tile covering the garage floor...which was used as a garage...

I can remember the stress island-wide on STX in the few days before Louis (the one right before Marilyn). It was the first "real" storm forecast after Hugo, and seems like anyone who had dealt with Hugo was REALLY stressed. Buying plywood, moving things, emptying homes, all sorts of prep. Lots were just frantic. The plane tickets for the night before L were going on the market for big $

There was a nonprofit corp called Cruzan Bikeways that worked for 6 to 8 years to get a bikepath constructed from Hovensa out to Point Udall. It was supported by the Gov't and private groups, and I seem to recall it had almost everything in place to begin its construction around 2010 or 2011.
Don't know what actually happened to end the project, although since Hovensa was a supporter/grant p

Have had a home in NY suburbs, as well as being in stx for last 30 years, but this was such a local catastrophe for folks living in NY..(or NJ, or CT etc). Father of someone on my son's soccer team, firemen and cops living in neighborhood, and on and on. Luckily my DIL and her sister were not in their employer's WTC office that day, but most everyone living here knew victims in the buildings, and
